A raid by Washington County Sheriff’s Office deputies at a home on the northern outskirts of Bartlesville has netted drugs and one alleged Bartlesville drug dealer, WCSO officials say.

Arrested in the raid was 33-year-old Michael Anthony Walker Sr. on charges of possession of marijuana with intent to distribute, unlawful possession of methamphetamine, and unlawful possession of drug paraphernalia.

According to the case’s probable cause affidavit, the raid took place at a residence in the 800 block of Northwest Lupa Street.

Deputies say they found, among other things, "over one pound" of marijuana, .3 grams of methamphetamine and numerous shipping containers and packaging. Authorities contend that the shipping containers were "used to ship marijuana from the State of California to (Walker’s) residence." Additionally, the report contends that digital scales were found, suggesting that the drug was being prepared to be sold.

When questioned, Walker reportedly said that he had "asked his sister in California to ship marijuana to him in Bartlesville some (two to three times," and that each shipment was "slightly less than a pound," although authorities claim that the most recent shipment weighed more than one pound.

He said that his sister "was only doing what her ‘older brother asked of her," and said that the whole thing was his idea so that he "can help with bills," reports show.

Walker will have initial court appearance on the charges Friday in Washington County District Court.
